Is Tangier safe for solo female travelers?

Tangier is relatively safe compared to other regions although caution is always advised, especially during night times. Street harassment may be an issue particularly for visibly foreign women, and while it's often not dangerous, it can be annoying and persistent. In terms of personal security, it's generally safe, but pickpocketing is common in crowded spaces like markets. It's advisable to be mindful of your belongings, use reputable transportation services, and avoid secluded areas during less busy times.

Solo travel

My experience was great i loved the city the vibes the balance between the new city and the old monuments. The only this that mad my travel through tanger harder is the transportation was a little bit complicated but it just i didn't have the knowledge about les grand taxi and the busses so that is it a great place i advise you to visite it .

Group travel

I spent a day in Tangier as a school trip, here's my overall opinion: I mainly liked Hercules cave, I think it's a great space to go around and discover a little bit about culture. We went to their mall afterwards but I wouldn't recommend, the food wasn't very great but not too bad. Medina Qdima was also very pretty, I liked how full and lively it was. The view were also incredible,the beaches,the green space..etc. I highly recommend going there

Couple travel

We stayed in the medina close to the kashba museum. Even if it was a bit overwhelming at first (we also arrived on Eid day), in general we felt soon quite safe and we learned quite quickly to move around the medina. We only had a bit of an unpleasant experience with a indrive taxi but all was ok in the end.

Tangier is a smaller city in nothern Morocco, and i traveled solo off season in April 2024. Overall i met the nicest people ever there but also had to experience some harassment. I recommend to not walk around alone unless its city center, because cars will stop and honk at you (no matter what you dress like). I recommend using Taxi Apps because public transport is not that reliable. Food is amazing and cheap!

I was in Tangier and it was simply wonderful there, with sea views, beautiful weather and really low prices. The city has such a rich history as a place of artists and writers, one of my favorite places I've ever visited.

As a local I can say tangier is decently safe, but that doesn’t mean that it really safe, like any city in the world there’s good and bad, personally I have never got robbed or sexually assaulted, but I did get catcalled multiple times and it get annoying sometimes.

Tangier is pretty safe I would say and pretty much all of the northern area around the country . I've never really had a bad experience living and travelling around the city as a girl . The people are pretty warm and helpful as well .

Tangier is safe, just avoid very local places and neighberhoods. The more youare surrounded with people the more you will be safe. Touristic places are always safe, also in the city center.

As long as you're avoiding dangerous areas, like those poor and far neighborhood no one gonna come towards you, you can be totally safe in the medina and other touristic places. Even if you have to go to other neighborhood, you can be safe if you wear some covered clothes (not showing clivages or too much from your body).. I myself wear t-shirts and medium skirts.

Tangier is very safe for female travelers and in touristy places. Granted that you don’t go to sketchy suburbian neighborhoods you’re very safe. I can take a taxi at 3 or 4 in the morning no problem at all. Just be aware of your surroundings like you would be anywhere else and don’t answer anyone in the streets.
